Procurator of St Mark's → Procurators of Saint Mark – Suggest that the page currently entitled "Procurator of Saint Mark's" be amended to "Procurators of Saint Mark". Admittedly, the Italian could be translated either way. But I looked at several sources by major English-speaking historians, and I find it only as "Procurators of Saint Mark", without the genitive.

- Support, though there might be a case for the singular? Fwiw, the French and Dutch wiki titles don't have the genitive, and are singular, but the Italians use the plural. Johnbod (talk) 15:16, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- I had also thought about the singular verses plural aspect. I think that since there are three different types (de supra, de citra, and de ultra), plural would be more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Venicescapes (talk • contribs) 16:51, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Frederic Lane and Edward Muir both manage to avoid the whole issue by simply not translating San Marco which makes the question of the genitive moot. They write procurators of San Marco. This may actually be a better solution.Venicescapes (talk) 08:31, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
